Lake Tahoe is a region of breathtaking natural beauty, and Shaka Guide’s driving tour covers the entire lake — in both Nevada and California. Get up close to the crystal clear waters of the lake itself, along with the stunning mountain scenery that surrounds it. There are plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy along this tour, including options to hike, bike, visit historic castles, mansions, and cabins, and set foot on several idyllic beach fronts along the lake’s shoreline. Additionally, you’ll get to enjoy Tahoe’s vibrant museums, landmarks, shops, and restaurants with stops in the mountain towns and villages that surround the lake.
Here are just a few of the fun things you can do on the Lake Tahoe Driving Tour:
• Visit Sand Harbor Beach and hike Tahoe East Shore Trail to Memorial Point
• Stop at scenic Emerald Bay and nearby Vikingsholm Castle
• Hike Balancing Rock Nature Trail at D.L. Bliss State Park
